Introduced Text

Pennsylvania HB2653 ensures behavioral health care providers have access to insurer networks and prohibits discrimination.

Pennsylvania HB2653 amends Title 40 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to enhance access to behavioral health care services. Insurers must contract with willing behavioral health care providers who meet certain criteria, including being in good standing and providing services within the state. The bill prohibits insurers from unfairly discriminating against these providers in practice standards, quality requirements, credentialing criteria, reimbursement rates, and network placement. It also mandates parity in these areas.
